Snowing in Wellington

Ok- old news now. But as I moved from Kindergarten to Kindergarten last year - Everyone had documented something about the snow. It captured the teacher's sense of wonder and this communicated itself to children and was fed by families. It should have been a case in point to us in ECE circles how using wonder to drive a project or support a teachable moment can work. I might be slightly biased on this front ( having co written an article on wonder in ece ) but also am speculative about what happened next - did the teams capture this rare moment of shared understanding and run with it? Here's a clip from Wellington that encapsulates wonder in the snow.

  1. I agree that everyone was talking about this when it happened. I suppose it was the utmost in the 'teachable moment'
